| > I’ve opted for MBP and she bought Asus Rog Strix. Both were over 2k euro. She bought a gaming brand. There's no such a thing as a good gaming brand and the issue isn't with PCs but buying something targeted at people who don't even use laptops as /laptops/ so the build quality is horrendous (particularly on the hinges, it's common for gaming laptops to have failed hinges but the consumer target doesn't care because the PC never leaves their desk). There's no issue with Lenovo ThinkPad or Dell Latitude. There's a wide range of PC manufacturers out there, many of which make classes of computers Apple will never make, like the Panasonic Toughbook which are water, dust and shock resistant to the point where you can use them as weapons to bash someone's head and the computer will still run fine. By the way, if you're unlucky enough to get a lemon, Dell and Lenovo offer /on site/ warranty service on their business class hardware (another perk of buying latitude rather than consumer targeted garbage like inspiron). You don't have to ship your computer back or go to a specific store like with Apple. They come to fix it. > And on top of that it runs completely silently Most PC laptops are quite silent, you can't get silence from a device that was made to push dedicated GPUs to their limits like a gaming laptop. As for Apple's legendary build quality, the last macbook I've owned before ditching the Apple ecosystem entirely was one that was affected by both the keyboard dust issue and the short display cable that bends too much whenever you open the monitor. https://www.ifixit.com/News/12903/flexgate https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-n... Yeah, great build quality. I think it's the first time in my entire life I saw a keyboard fail so quickly and hard. And that display cable.. who designs things like this? It should have been obvious to anyone who designs computers that putting that much tension on the cable was going to make it rip. I can never rid myself of the suspicion Apple makes hardware designed to fail after warranty/Apple care period after this. |
